I am new to Cygwin, we are running version 1.59. Cygwin used is for account management for our Active Directory. Cygwin is used to launch an C-based program (that is running as service) that calls a VB6 Program, which is called via a SSH connection from our central account management system that runs on a Unix.

I have also given the account administration rights within cygwin, and still get the same problem. However, under windows within cygwin the code runs fine..without going over the SSH connection…
My WAG is that you're sshing in using pubkey authentication. If so, use password authentication and see if that solves your problem. This is a known limitation in the current Cygwin package (one could argue it's a Windows limitation too but....)
I have noticed the security on proc/registry contains ???????? with no rights is that normal..
Looks like your '/etc/passwd' and '/etc/group' aren't correct.
